Originally doubles partners, the twins took a coach’s advice and made the switch to singles and doubles respectively. Panitchaphon now competes in singles, while Pakkapon pairs up with Peeratchai Sukphun in the second doubles position for Thailand’s Thomas Cup matches.
Curious about how they manage to juggle badminton and their acting careers, we asked Pakkapon for insights. He explained, “Being a national badminton player requires a lot of energy. With training sessions in the morning and afternoon, one can easily become exhausted. However, acting is more like a hobby for us, and it doesn’t affect our performance on the court. We are serious about our badminton careers.”

“My father is incredibly proud. He played international matches, but the chance to play in the Thomas Cup eluded him,” Pakkapon shared. “He was present in the audience, but he deliberately stayed hidden to avoid distracting us.
